Architectures for Silicon Nanoelectronics and Beyond A Workshop to Chart Research Directions

摘要：0541927丹尼尔·w·哈默斯特罗姆波特兰州立大学本提案的目的是为美国国家科学基金会申请资助一个研讨会。本次研讨会由SNB（硅纳米技术及超越）计划的第四工作组（CWG）组织，SNB是SRC和NSF之间的一项协议，旨在加强大学在该领域的研究重点。研讨会将于9月13日至14日在俄勒冈州波特兰市波特兰州立大学举行。虽然美国国家科学基金会将是主要赞助商，但我们也向ONAMI（俄勒冈纳米和微技术研究所）提交了一份额外资助的提案。研讨会将只接受邀请，并将由大约40人组成。会议地点将在波特兰州立大学拥有和运营的大学广场酒店和会议中心。在寻求设计新材料和开关并让它们在实验室中工作的过程中，有时会被遗忘的问题是，我们将如何利用纳米电子设备来实现未来的计算。纳米技术很可能不仅仅是底层的一种新型设备，而且设计堆栈中的每一层都将有显著的不同，包括系统架构、算法、计算模型、计算结构、物理实现和设备。在半导体制造、研究和开发领域，包括IT、国防技术和通信，人们普遍认为，如果半导体行业要保持其性能/成本的历史指数增长，那么将CMOS技术扩展到其极限并开发超越CMOS技术是很重要的。

PROPOSAL : 0541927 DATE : 07/07/2005 ABSTRACT 0541927 Daniel W. Hammerstrom Portland State University The purpose of this proposal is to request funding for NSF to sponsor a workshop. This workshop is being organized by the Collaborative Working Group (CWG) 4 of the SNB (Silicon Nanotechnology and Beyond) Initiative, an agreement between SRC and NSF to increase university research emphasis in this area. The workshop will be held at Portland State University, Portland, Oregon, September 13 and 14. Although NSF will be the primary sponsor, we have also submitted a proposal to ONAMI (Oregon Nano and Microtechnology Institute) for additional funding. The workshop will be by invitation only and will consist of approximately 40 people. The venue will be the University Place, a hotel and conference center owned and operated by Portland State University. Sometimes forgotten, in the quest to design new materials and switches and to get them to work in the laboratory, are the questions of how we will take advantage of nanoelectronic devices for tomorrow's computing. It is likely that nanotechnology will not just be a new kind of device at the bottom of the hierarchy, but that every level in the design stack will be significantly different, including system architectures, algorithms, computational models, computing structures, physical implementations, and devices. In the semiconductor manufacturing, research, and development community, which includes IT, defense technology and communication, it is widely acknowledged that it is important to pursue both extending CMOS technology to its limits and to develop beyond-CMOS technologies, if the semiconductor industry is to sustain its historical exponential improvement in performance/cost over time.
